Chapter 2

“Well, I am Ava Thomas HR and this is Ms. Caroline Martinez, CEO of the company. So, Mr. Wright I just saw in your cv that you left your previous job. Why did you quit?” Ava asked him but his eyes were on me and looked embarrassed and nervous and maybe a little bit scared after knowing he spilled the coffee on the CEO of the company he is trying to join.

Well, he ruined my shirt, he deserves to be nervous. His fingers tangled with each other and he gulped randomly, he is nervous.

‘This is going to be fun!’ I thought with an evil smile on my face.

Samael’s POV

I stopped the car as soon as I reached the school and looked to my right.

“I know you don’t need it but all the best for your interview and I know you are going to get the job.” Ella, my little sister said. She is 10-years-old but has behaved like she is a lot older than that. Her blonde hair was tied in a ponytail and her green eyes matched her jumpsuit.

Ella is my world and I love her so much. She is my little sister but sometimes behaves like she is the older one and not me.

“Thank you El, I love you,” I said with a smile.

“Love you too, brother. And don’t worry about me I will be fine.” She said as she took her bag from the back seat.

“I know, just call me when you reach home,” I said with a nod.

“I will, bye-bye.” She said as she opened the door and got out.

“And text me if I don’t pick up the call! Bye.” I shouted from the car to which she showed a thumbs up over her head.

I pulled out from her school and started driving towards ‘Martinez’s Company’. I have the interview for the position of the CEO’s assistant. The job is not foreign for me as I have experience of a few years.

After a few minutes, I parked the car in the parking lot of the Martinez company. Taking a deep breath, I looked at myself in the rearview mirror.

“You can do nothing in your life Samael, you are a loser and a scumbag!”

I shook my head and got rid of the unnecessary thoughts and focused on the interview.

‘I can do it.’ I thought and got out of the car. I took the elevator from the basement parking lot itself and pressed the ‘G’ for the ground floor. I stood alone in the elevator when I opened the message box and saw a few messages from my apartment owner for money. I replied that I would by this weekend.

As soon as I heard the elevator open, I got out and suddenly bumped into someone.

“Seriously! Are you blind or what?” the person said and I looked up at the person. A woman stood in front of me probably in her mid-twenties. Her blonde hair was put in a nice ponytail. Her blue eyes, resembling beautiful morning blue sky, were looking at me as if she wants to kill me.

Then I noticed that I accidentally spilled her coffee on her white shirt, which she wore with a black formal skirt that fitted her body perfectly. Her blue eyes held red fire in them which intrigued me.

“I am so sorry,” I said apologetically and sincerely to her.

“Well, your sorry won’t take the strain away from my white shirt mister.” She scolded me and narrowed her blue eyes at me.

“I am really-” I started but she cut me off mid-sentence, “I don’t have time for this.” she hissed and entered the elevator leaving me standing there as I looked at her apologetically.

Shit, I bumped into her accidentally. I slipped my phone into my pocket and walked towards the reception. The girl looked at me and smiled politely.

“Good morning, I am Lucy Lopez, how may I help you?” she said.

“Good morning, I am Samael Wright. I am here for the interview.” I said as I smiled back at her.

“Okay, Mr. Wright may I have your basic information please?” she asked me to which I nodded. She took some information about me like my contact number, email address, home address, etc.

“Okay Mr. Wright, the interview is going to be held in a few minutes. You can wait in the lobby area till the interview starts.” She told me.

“Sure, thank you,” I said and went back to the lobby area which is in front of the elevators. I sat on the single chair and waited.

After some time, Lucy came and informed every candidate to move to the 15t floor where the interview was going to be held. Few people went in and came out of the interview room and then it was my turn.

I entered the room and saw a chair which was in the middle of the room, in front of the two interviewers. As soon as I looked at them, I recognized one of them. It was the woman on whom I accidentally bumped and spilled her coffee on her shirt.

‘Congratulations Samael. You got the job.’ I thought sarcastically in my head.

“Good morning, Mr. Wright. Please take the seat.” Another interviewer said to me with a smile.

“Um, Good morning. Thank you.” I said nervously as I saw the woman I bumped with looking at me.  

“Well, I am Ava Thomas HR and this is Ms. Caroline Martinez, CEO of the company. So, Mr. Wright I just saw in your cv and in that it is mentioned that you left your previous job after working there for almost five years as a personal assistant. Why did you quit?” Ava asked me but my eyes were on the CEO, THE CEO who was smiling at me evilly and I gulped.

I SPILLED THE COFFEE ON THE CEO OF THE COMPANY!

“Mr. Wright, are you alright?” Ava, the HR asked me and I looked at her with a nod.

“Yes, I am alright.” I said and cleared my throat as I thought, ‘I need to focus, I need this job.’ Before I continued, “I quit my previous job because I moved out of my previous home and the office was almost two hours far from my new place, so I had to look for a new job.”

“Okay, so can you-.” Ava started but was cut off by Ms. CEO. Well, that name just seems suitable.

“So, Mr. Wright I have a question for you.” Ms. CEO said, Ava nodded her head at her.

“Do you like coffee?” she asked me and I coughed automatically. Ava looked at Ms. CEO with confused expressions, probably thinking how that question was related to this job.

“I- I do,” I answered hesitantly while she smiled after hearing my answer. I think she was enjoying making me nervous and embarrassed.

“That’s great! You are hired MR. Wright.” She announced and my jaw hit the floor and my eyes were wide. Ava looked at her like she had gone crazy or something.

“Ma’am?” Ava asked Ms. CEO as she looked at her in shock and so was I.

“What, the position we are offering is for my assistant and I choose Mr. Wright.” She explained to Ava clearing her confusion and then turned towards me.

“From tomorrow, 9 am sharp.” She said and got up from her seat. As soon as she stood me and Ava stood up from our seats. Without giving me a second glance, she went out of the room.

It was silent for a few seconds before Ava spoke with a bright smile on her face, “Congratulations Mr. Wright, the boss has spoken. We should probably discuss salary, please take a seat.”

“Thank you,” I replied with a smile and took the seat.
